Mod hunt

Ha! Dumaguete! Are you still there? Kabayan! Bisaya pud!

I was wondering if I should bother with the beginner mods or just jump straight in to the proper realistic mods recommended by stoianm?

That's completely up to you. But some of the mods there do increase realism such as MFCM (mighty fine crew mod) and MCCD (More crew commands by dialog) IRAI (Intelligent Random AI) and most others in that list mentioned above.

With the torpedo speed fix and hydrophone fix mod the game is quite playable, and with manual targeting you can hit a ship in specific areas as you mentioned you want.

But:

Stock AI is pretty dumb.
IRAI ramps up the ai to a proper level.
Stock interface is playable but clumsy. Darkwaith's interface mods are highly recommended.

If your pc can handle it, why not get the environment and interior mods as well? Things look 10 times better. Eye candy does not make a sim a sim but pretty is, well, pretty. (See the screenshots thread)

"If my PC can handle it..."

i5 740 OC to 4.2GHz, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, ATI HD 6970, Win7 Home 64-bit. How far can I push this game?

I guess I better drop the "play this game stock" idea and just jump in to the mod pool straight away!
